What happens after Loft? Is it one ride in a real plane with a line check airman doing a visual approach, then you're all on your own?

Extra sim time is solely at the discretion of training management. It varies where extra training is needed, typically right before the MV or LOE.

People don’t “request” extra hours. Again, that’s at the discretion of training management based on what the instructor’s opinion is. They will give extra time, but they will also cap it off at a certain point.

The LOFT comes after the MV. If successfully completed, you get signed off to take your LOE (the ATP/Type is issued after the LOE). Somewhere in training you’ll do UPRT (upset prevention and recovery training). Sometimes it’s before the LOE, sometimes after. After all that, you go to IOE.

no. They do send out a study guide but it only covers limitations and 5 immediate action times. But that's all that's in the packet.

I am very much looking forward to learning but would like to know from other E3 pilots if PSA provided any assistance in relocation costs. Eg, do they provide a ticket say on AA from Australia to Dayton to begin class? I’m thinking of just coming with the maximum 32kg of luggage and just buy whatever I need there. The upheaval of moving from one country to another is rather frightening though! Can’t wait to start. My class is mid July.
PSA organised my flight from Sydney to Dayton. All I had to pay was the tax which was about $90 Australian. You get 2 check in bags at 23 kg’s each. Then also 1 carry on and 1 small item (laptop bag).

You get 2 x 32kg bags check in for the international flight plus the connecting flights to Dayton. The problem is, you get 1 x 23kg bag on any domestic flight to Sydney if you don't live there. Qantas are charging $100 for that extra bag, Virgin are more reasonable in that you can buy extra kgs, dunno what REX are charging.

Thanks to the previous two posters. I am in sydney so that works for me. Did they provide hotel accommodation upon your arrival in Dayton because obviously we cannot land the day before class. My plan would be to arrive one week before class so am wondering if they provide a room?

It depends on if you have to do atp- ctp or if you already have an ATP. If you already have an ATP they want you in the US two weeks before class. If you need to complete atp - ctp then it’s about 5 days before class starts I think. Either way you have to pay for your own hotel room until you start class. The money is taken out of your sign on bonus.
